Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas may soon be re-released for Xbox 360, a new set of Achievements suggests. Developer Rockstar Games has not announced a new version of the game for Xbox 360, but Xbox Achievements has posted a new list of achievements that seem to indicate a re-release is in the works.

In addition, the Xbox Originals version of San Andreas is oddly no longer available to download for Xbox 360--though it remains available to buy for PlayStation 3. On top of that, October 2014 marks the game's tenth anniversary, which would be a fitting time for such a re-release, if it were to happen.

San Andreas was released in October 2004 for PlayStation 2, though the game has since come to platforms such as Xbox, PC, Mac, and various mobile devices.

We have contacted Rockstar for comment, and will update this story with anything we hear back.

Grand Theft Auto V comes to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on November 18. The PC version is scheduled to launch in January 2015. The open-world game has already shipped more than 34 million copies.

Rumors of an Xbox 360 version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas began to circulate yesterday with the leak of new achievements for the game, and now Rockstar has confirmed that GTA: San Andreas is getting its own re-release on Microsoft's last-gen system.

Astute gamers may have noticed that the Xbox Originals version of the game available in the Xbox Marketplace has gone missing. Rockstar explained the removal as a sort of out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new. While the original version will never be available again on the Marketplace, Rockstar has gone ahead and made it available as a purchasable game through the Games on Demand service starting October 26.

The company promises that this isn't a mere change in how gamers can purchase the game. The graphics have been improved, supporting 720p resolution, improved draw distances, and as the achievement list leak already revealed, full achievement support.

In addition to the revealed list, there are an additional 11 secret achievements to unlock in San Andreas.

Rockstar is celebrating 10 years since the release of GTA: San Andreas with a special celebratory weekend in Grand Theft Auto Online that will include special clothing, discounts, and double RP and double GTA$.
